We apply our approach to two specific design-based compositions. We combine the weighted sample means with the regression-synthetic estimators based on area-level auxiliary information and the direct generalized regression (GREG) estimators with the indirect GREG estimators in the case of unit-level data. In the simulation experiment, we use data from the Lithuanian Labor Force Survey (LFS) to estimate the proportions of the unemployed and employed in municipalities. We use EBLUPs [1]}, [2]}, based on area- and unit-level models, respectively, as benchmarks to judge the quality of the compositions.
